Storybird - Using illustrations to inspire writing
Storybird lets anyone make visual stories in seconds. Artwork from illustrators around the world is curated and used to inspire writers of any age to turn those images into original stories. It's a simple idea that has attracted millions of writers, readers, and artists to this fantastic platform.
Storybird is an amazing language arts tool that uses illustrations to inspire students to write. All stories in the public library are fully moderated, and public comments are tightly filtered to foster a positive environment suitable for all ages.
Educators onboard students directly by creating accounts or inviting them via a class code. They may create and issue assignments, moderate comments, review student work, apply a grade or comment.
